Between work and Nina I have been a busy bee. The weekend
after my birthday Nina’s mother asked us to join them at their home for a
birthday dinner complete with my favorite – Homemade Strawberry Shortcake.
Dinner was amazing and I got to bond more with her mother which is always good.
She’s such a sweet woman, something I certainly am not used to.
As I mentioned before, Nina and I have discussed living
together. Our leases are ending and we decided that since she is with me 7 days
per week anyways that she might as well move in. I called my property manager
to see if a two bedroom would become available soon and to my surprise she said
October 1st the place in my same courtyard would be available so I
would be able to move in 2 weeks prior and she would not charge me for the
earlier move in date and would prorate Septembers rent. Perfect! The space is
what Nina and I need because right now it’s crazy!
The only woman I shared space with long term was my 5
year relationship with the Administrator. And well that relationship certainly
wasn’t a pleasant one nor an ideal situation no matter how big that damn
penthouse was. It was tainted. Since then I have been on my own, living in my
own space and loving it. Nina has brought most of her items here to make the move
from Philly easier for her. That’s when I realized how essential a bigger
apartment would be. We have no room, and I mean absolutely no room, not even
for our common groceries etc.
Have you ever seen that episode of Martin where Gina
moves in and they have two of everything so they have to decide what stays and
what goes…but neither one of them want to give up their items? Yeah. It was
sorta like that for a while. I love my coffee maker, but Nina had a Keurig. I’m
not a fan of the Keurig because I love my coffee strong and no matter how hard
I tried there just wasn’t a brand of coffee strong enough available from
Keurig. As much as I didn’t want to I got rid of my coffee maker and we kept
the Keurig. Since then I have purchased the Starbucks Verona kcups and I have a
reusable filter that I can fill with stronger, Keurig ground coffee from
Starbucks or another supplier. Thus far I am okay…but I still miss my damn
coffee maker.
We have tons of pots and pans, and we haven’t even
brought her dishes here yet. As far as closets go, she’s just as much of a
clothes whore as I am. I’m waiting for the bar in the closet to break any day
now because we keep buying clothes! At least we settled on a new color theme
and comforter set for the bedroom. In all, that was the easy part. We both like
blue so we went that route.
Our mission is to be packed up and out of here by
September 15th and to start getting settled in our new apartment.
All of this on top of our hectic work schedules and trying to maintain some
form of a social life.
